“So this was my outfit for tonight, and I waited a little too long to get dressed and my zipper broke and I panicked,” Jenna Fischer explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, after she walked on set carrying her pretty burgundy dress on its hanger, while she sat perched in her chair wearing jeans, heels, diamond earrings, and a towel as a makeshift tube top.

The Splitting Up Together actress was totally honest about her dressing room wardrobe malfunction, and in the end, it made for a sillier talk show segment anyway. In fact, it’s a bit surprising this doesn’t happen more often. Instead of trying to clip or staple the dress shut, she proved why she’s one of the most authentic actresses working today and totally owned it.

“You know, I’m a Missouri girl and the show must go on,” she said in a cheery tone, even admitting, “I’ve never been more comfortable.” She went on to clarify, “I am mentally a little freaking out that I’m on a talk show in a towel, but I’m physically very comfortable.” Fischer and Kimmel went on to joke about the outfit fitting in at the spa, before chatting about her new ABC sitcom.

And while Splitting Up Together is off to a great start for ABC, you have to admit, in times like these, Pam Beasley really could’ve used that bathrobe from Victoria’s Secret after all.
